Popis: Reducing fuel consumption and climate-damaging CO2 emissions are important challenges for the automotive industry. These goals can be achieved by reducing the weight of the car. Extremely lightweight car bodies can be achieved by using exclusively composite materials, which have the major disadvantage of high costs and unsuitability for a large-scale production. A large-scale production of lightweight car body parts with a high stiffness to weight ratio requires more economic materials and new innovative manufacturing technologies. A very promising approach to meet these requirements investigated at the Paderborn University is the combination of high strength steel alloys and unidirectional CFRP prepregs in a special hybrid material—fiber metal laminate (FML)—which can be processed by specially adapted forming technologies such as deep drawing. The paper presents recent results of the combined curing and forming process. The influence of the process parameters, the process limits, the necessary tool systems, and the process strategies are similarly covered by the paper.
